Basically any Cormac McCarthy book. Ignoring the lack of punctuation (which i love) a lot of people just have a vendetta with his style.

Edit: same with movies. I hate rotten tomatoes, but usually anything with a critics score of 50% to 60% and an audience score more below that, chances are its the most interesting movie of the year.

Yeah, I generally use this system for films as well. Unless it's made to make money, many of the more 'creative' films on Rotten Tomatoes that range through the the 50s and 60s seem to be interesting.

Ooooo Cormac McCarthy is excellent. So far I've read blood meridian, all the pretty horses and the road.

Out of all of those, All The Pretty Horses is my favorite. His prose is so beautiful and haunting.
